ABOUT ME

I love meeting people and sharing experiences and dreams. I have an open mind and am willing to learn every day. I consider myself lucky to have essentially grown up at the refugee shelter that both my parents worked at in Buffalo, NY. As a result, I’ve always been interested in and open to learning about other cultures. I love almost all forms of artistic creation, learning new languages, and spontaneity.

PHILOSOPHY

“Si usted es capaz de temblar de indignación cada vez que se comete una injusticia en el mundo, somos compañeros.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to take part in the initiative to break down barriers… to help out like-minded people, to make contacts and be a contact. Unfortunately, when I'm in Buffalo, I probably won’t be able to offer a couch (although it wouldn’t hurt to ask), but I’d be happy to show you around Buffalo and share the best places to get a coffee or famous Buffalo chicken wings! Yummm!!

I'll be in Weimar at least until July 2015, and here I am more than willing to host if I am not traveling myself!

I’m new here, but looking forward to some great experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking into Gaudi's Sagrada Familia. Not only the first time, but every time. It is a completely overwhelming experience that I never get tired of.

Teach, Learn, Share
